## Summary

The Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, a public body governed by public law in the health sector, has completed the procurement of the Ventafee Scheme for medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. The procurement was carried out using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, worth £240,000 in GBP, was signed on 3rd January 2023 with Bayer Plc as the supplier. The tender was awarded based on the price criterion, with only one bid received.

This procurement process by the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the supply of medical equipment and pharmaceuticals to engage in contracts within the health sector. Companies specialising in exclusive patent-protected products may find opportunities in supplying essential medicines under similar procurement conditions in the future. Understanding the specific needs of the healthcare industry and the regulatory landscape governing such procurement processes would be beneficial for businesses seeking to compete in this sector.
